Deep in the Living

Chapter 741 Desire Infiltration

Whirlpool Town - Fourth Middle School, Teachers' Office.

Luo Di lay on the folding bed that Teacher Guo used.

A minute ago, Luo Di suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, his lips turned purple, and large clumps of his hair fell out. The situation was critical, and Teacher Guo almost woke up Meng Jing, but she held back.

As expected, Roddy persevered and has temporarily returned to normal, but his "discomfort" is still evident in his facial expressions.

After confirming that things were basically stable on Roddy's side, Teacher Guo looked at the other end of the office, where there was a sink where Domo was constantly rinsing his face with water.

Take a deep breath.

Drink water in big gulps

It took a while for the situation to finally calm down.

"Are you ok?"

"He's recovered... That oppressive feeling wasn't there in the middle zone~ How could Roddy still hold on?"

It seems he's found a way to deal with the darkness. I feel like I've been in a stable environment for too long, and I've become rather dull.

Domo rubbed his bald head, his face full of regret.

“That’s normal. The fact that you were able to personally access the deepest part of the dungeon is already considered to have met my expectations.”

The pituitary gland level you've reached is simply not suited to this place. Roddy's survival instinct is stronger than most people's, which unleashed his potential and led him to find a way.

This method is extremely valuable; let's see how long it can last.

Domo walked over and continued to release blue crystals related to dreams. "Teacher Guo, isn't it a bit too much to exploit Roddy like this?"

He was already affected by the noise; this dream would bring him into a deeper connection with that memory, and he might even contract something more troublesome.

Teacher Guo did not respond immediately, but turned her face to stare at Domo.

"Opportunities... are not something everyone can encounter."

Master Jiang explored the memories deep within the dungeon, and only his successor, Luo Di, could directly glimpse the details. If he didn't even seize this opportunity for indirect exploration, how could he possibly secure a spot in the final selection?
The hidden corners and the alien deities we may encounter in the future are bound to be far more dangerous than this place.

and,

He himself also has a desire for this deepest dungeon; you should be able to sense that.

"Ah."

……

【Dreamscape - Deep Within the Dungeon】

Roddy stared with a strange look and moved closer to Domo, who was searching among the wooden crates.

Just as a hand was about to grab him, Domo suddenly turned around, holding two baguettes in his hand.

The bread looked very old, but because there were no microorganisms in this environment, the bread itself did not rot; it just lost a lot of moisture and became as hard as a rock.

Even so,

Roddy's attention was instantly drawn to the bread, and he grabbed it and started biting into it, with even the zombie teeth joining in to help.

The seemingly unpalatable baguette was completely devoured in less than a few seconds, without even tasting the contents inside.

Appetite filling,

Roddy gradually recovered.

Although his gaze toward Domo was still somewhat strange, he was at least able to suppress this strange physical urge.

Roddy was certainly aware of his abnormal condition, as if his desires had been amplified several times over, overflowing and becoming uncontrollable.

It's worth noting that Luo Di is extremely self-disciplined; he was able to effectively suppress his restless youthful emotions even when sleeping between Hua Yuan and Wu Wen.

current,

To confirm that it wasn't a change in orientation, he specifically recalled Hua Yuan.

Once you start thinking about it, all sorts of bizarre scenarios flood your mind and you can't stop. Your body becomes unbearably hot, and your erection reaches its maximum.

Seeing that he couldn't suppress it, Luo Di simply chopped off the head with a single blow.

This action brought some attention back to my body, which gradually calmed my burning sensation.

……

Inside a comic book store deep in an alley.

Hua Yuan sat at her personal workstation drawing comics. She was currently working on a crucial detail, so much so that numerous tiny heads sprouted from the surface of her fingers to assist in completing this step of the drawing.

Just when it was about to be completed,
A sudden surge of emotion caused her to exert too much force, tearing the paper!
"I'll fuck you to death!!!"

She had spent a full three hours on this page, and now all her efforts had been wasted, so she immediately started cursing.

"Who the hell is thinking about me! I have to kill this bastard."

Hua Yuan was furious and immediately set out to find the source of this longing. However, the deeper he went, the stranger it seemed.

The source of this longing is clearly in Whirlpool Town, but it also seems to connect to some very distant place, which can only be reached by passing through an extremely dark circular passage.

Just when it seemed like the connection was about to be established.

Snapped!
A hand landed on her shoulder, pulling Hua Yuan back from the brink of danger. "Focus on your drawing; the manuscript is due next week."

“Okay, teacher… um, do you know where my thoughts were just heading? I felt something was off there, and one of my friends might be in danger.”

Hua Yuan was no longer angry. She had sensed danger, and this longing was coming from a special man.

She really wanted to help, but unfortunately she couldn't.

Moreover, Hua Yuan's question went unanswered, and the owner of the comic book store seemed unwilling to discuss the topic.

……

Between dreams.

Luo Di reattached his severed head, and his longing for Hua Yuan finally ceased.

Domo also cast a strange look at them, and tried his best to analyze the situation rationally:
"Our desires are being amplified to the extreme, currently manifesting mainly as lust and appetite... This is not just a simple outpouring of desires; if it is not controlled, there may be even worse consequences."

Roddy stretched his newly reattached cervical vertebrae and walked towards the door of the lounge.

"At least we've gained more information than we had before... Domo, let's go!"

We must find enough oil to keep the torches burning; only then can we proceed steadily when facing the actual dungeon exploration.

"Ah."

Roddy walked ahead with the torch, and Domo followed closely behind, deliberately keeping their distance but not too far apart.

There was a dark passageway outside the house.

The walls are made of densely packed gravel, and the ground is relatively flat, with alternating gray and black colors.

An ancient atmosphere permeated the passageway, as if this place had existed for a thousand years or even longer, and had not been visited by outsiders for a very long time.

This passageway also has other similar rest areas.

It's as if people used to work here, and after finishing work each day, they could return to their individual rooms to rest.

However, there were no extra torches in these rest areas; they only found some bread and dried meat.

while walking,

Roddy suddenly heard heavy footsteps coming from the darkness ahead.

He prepared for battle, holding a torch in one hand and gripping the back of the neck of the black spine with the other, ready to strike as soon as the opponent entered the range of the firelight.

however,
They could clearly see the unusual and enormous outline, and the footsteps were very close, but when they entered the illuminated area, nothing and no sound remained.

"What's going on? Can light dispel what's inside? That shouldn't be the case. According to Master Jiang's memory, he did encounter something here, something that even death can't take away."

Domo's voice came from behind:

"Perhaps the relevant memories haven't been unearthed yet, which is why the dream can't show the appearance of the creatures in the dungeon... That's why you can only hear their voices and feel the oppression, but you can't see what they look like."

This is, after all, just a dream, not a real dungeon.

If we could gather more information, perhaps the dreams could reveal the creatures here.

"Row."

Roddy's hunger came quickly, and it wasn't long before he needed to stuff some jerky into his mouth.

Continuing along the passage, it seemed to lead in only one direction, with no other forks in the road. After a while, a rather unusual stone gate appeared not far ahead, with carvings on it resembling some kind of organ.

Roddy fiddled with the door for ages but couldn't open it.

Domo stepped forward and said, “Let me try… Although I am restricted in this special dream, I can still change the environmental conditions to some extent.”

As Domo reached out and touched it, the stone door opened.

Inside is a closed circular hall, with organ patterns carved on the floor similar to those on the door.

Domo went straight in and looked around.

Just as Roddy was about to step inside, his right foot hovered in the air.

For some reason, Roddy's body stopped this behavior on its own.

Perhaps it's a sense of danger developed through some kind of training.

Perhaps it's the instinct for survival.
Perhaps it is the legacy and some memories inherited from Master Jiang that are creating a dangerous warning for this special room.

Domo turned his head and looked over. "What's wrong with Roddy? This looks like a special altar. Why don't we come in and take a look? It might help our exploration."

"No, it's enough that you've seen it."

"You are the subject of the dream; your observation will reveal more details."

"I can see clearly from the doorway, but you seem to be in a bit of a hurry, Domo?"

After a short silence.

Domo suddenly turned his head 180 degrees, facing Roddy with his bald head.

A fissure appeared on the surface of the back of the head, filled with countless eyeballs.

"...How did you discover the problem? I deliberately led you here. We were just one step away from our love being able to unite effectively."
